terry at Cross Roads on Monday morning
at IL o'clock q. M, after appropriate
funeral services conducted by Rev. II. M.
Allen, which were attended by large
number of the relatives and friends of
the deceased.
Mr.. Dan'l F. Ragsdale, highly esteem
ed citizen of the Eastern side of the Coun-
.ty, died at his home near Toney Greek
last Friday night of typhoid dysentery,
aged 76 years. Mr.. Ragadale had been q
faithful and consistent member of the
Baptist Church for more than fifty years,
and was most excellent citizen in every
respect. He was hard working, indus
trious man. and his neighbors say he
never had an enemy. His wife survives
him. His remains were inferred in the
graveyard at Shady Grove Church on
Sunday, Rev. M. McGee conducting the
funeral services.
Wilson Bradley, an aged colored man,
while attempting to cross the G. & G. r.
r. track at Honea Path, on Wednesday
night of last week, in front of the west.
bound freight train, was struck by the
pilot of the engine and throw wn some thir-
ty to forty feet, with such force as to break
his limbs and otherwise fatally injure him
so that he died at noon on Friday. 1t is
not known whether he knew the train was
80 close to him or failed to cross as rapid
.ly as, he expected. Trial Justice Trussell,
Of Honea Path, held an inquest over the
body, and the jury returned q verdict that
the deceased came to his death by being
struck by the engine of the freight train,
as stated above. No blame seems to at
tach to the engineer for the accident.
Some persons.are complaining that the
return train from Belton to Anderson, on
the @. & e. r. r., has been discontinued
for the summer. We are sorry for it, and
are also sorry that the evening train on
the Savannah Valley has been left off.
The trouble is that neither of these trains
paid, and hence they were discontinued.
We cannot see that it was any worse for
the G. q g. TO stop its train than for the
Savannah Valley to stop it's train-in
fact, the stopping of the Savannah Valley
is the greater Inconvenience Of the two.
It was matter of business in both in
stances, and We hope that both of these
Roads will soon restore the discontinued
trains. In fact, we understand that when
business sets in this fall. they will do so.
Mrs. g. r. Murrsy's school for young
ladies closed for the Summer on last Fri.
day, and the occasion was celebrated by a
pic mic upon the lawn and grounds sur
rounding Mr.. E. B.. Murray's spring.
The school and number of guests in.
vited by the scholars, enjoyed the day to
che fullest extent with croquet, rowing
swinging, promenading, conversation
music and in other ways. A most abun.
dant and sumptuous pic mic dinner was
partaken upon the lawn, and everybody
seemed pleased. The little ones, perhaps,
had the best amusement of all, wadine
and padding in the water. The school
will reopen in September, and if the
scholars enjoy the balance of their vaca.
ton as much as they did the first day
they will be fully recreated and ready TO,
bard. successful study.
